Excellent team spirit, average benefits
Wofür möchtest du deinen Arbeitgeber im Umgang mit der Corona-Situation loben?
The reaction took place well before the nationwide actions. Very easy and quick transition to remote.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Although it is noticeable that the office is becoming a bit outdated, the team in charge of the office is always trying to respond to the feedback of the employees and to make constant improvements. Software Engineers enjoy a great choice of current tech equipment.
Kommunikation
A great deal of attention is paid to constant transparency, so that everyone can understand the current situation. Despite the ongoing growth, communication channels are relatively short.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In some teams, cohesion is almost synonymous with family, while in certain departments, too much emphasis is placed on imposing one's own opinion on others, which tends to suppress open dialogues very often. However, blaming culture between engineers is a thing in some weeks.
Work-Life-Balance
People know when it's time to work a little harder. Nevertheless, this is usually recognized and rewarded. Regular team events ensure the appropriate relaxation. If you actively practice "work hard, play hard", LOVOO is the place to be. Plus, parents are given generous freedom to look after their little ones.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Since 1:1 meetings and recurring feedback sessions are part of the culture, C level management makes sure that these topics regularly finds its place. Yet, it is rare for them to be actively involved in the product development process.
Interessante Aufgaben
Great variance between challenging tasks and "cost of doing business".
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Recently, the topic of sustainability has become more and more part of the central culture and is constantly being expanded.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
The salary may be appropriate for Dresden, but is below the industry standard. Benefits (free breakfast, in-house gym, snacks, etc.) are nice, but nothing life changing.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Conference visits are only approved under reservation. Opportunities for promotion are limited. But everybody is encouraged to experiment and try out new departments if desired.
